Preflection Part 2 September 16, 2008

Something which might help explain why my track record as a blogger is so pitiful is the fact that my personal computer does not have an internet connection. Therefore, I use the family computer; if you’ve ever been in a family of six, the reasons why I don’t write often are clearly apparent. So, to [...]

To Copy A Friend: Preflection Part 1 September 11, 2008

In the spirit of a new school year, and one as a Junior! no less, I’ve decided to write preflections of all of my classes. I should note that school started last week, however, I have yet again managed to put everything off until … sometime such as now. Also, if you’re wondering why I [...]

My Opa Just Died July 14, 2008

The last time I saw him was the 4th of July. We went over to their house to visit. I sat upstairs and talked with Tante Annie and Oma and Mom, and Hannah played on the floor. And Opa was somewhere else. In his barn working, or in his pick-up truck smoking a cigar, or [...]

Exams ‘08: Bio, German, and the English Portfolio July 4, 2008

So my last two exams were back to back. I should have been smart and gone to bed early, woken up on time, and studied a little before each. If you know me at all, you know this isn’t what happened. Let me just say that playing cards (and winning) is much more fun and interesting [...]

Exams ‘08: Global History June 19, 2008

I’m back, and I’m able to write this post, so the Regents for Global couldn’t have been too bad…
In all honesty, the test wasn’t awful. There were 50 aggravating multiple-choice questions, 8 or 9 documents to analyze, and two essays to write. Thankfully, my Global History teacher had made us write these two essays many times [...]

Exams ‘08: Geometry June 17, 2008

Taking a page out of April’s book, or in this case a post out of her blog, I’m spending this post reflecting on yesterday and predicting tomorrow.
First: what I thought of the class. I hated it, and I was particularly upset that Geometry was the last period of the day (who wants to end the [...]

on my Grama’s 81st birthday June 16, 2008

On Friday my Grama and Grampa (that’s how they spells it) came over to our house to celebrate her birthday. She turned 81 on Wednesday (July 11th).
Eighty-one.
I’m trying to think of what to say to that. I wish I live to be 81 is my first thought. My second is that I really haven’t spent enough time [...]

Post Blog First My June 14, 2008

As evidenced by the title, I am either bored or brain-dead from studying from my Geometry final. Or both, it’s hard to tell.
I decided I would start writing a blog because there are so many things which happen in my life which go undocumented, when they really should be remembered. Also, I need one more thing [...]
